Annual Meeting of the Kizuna Network 2025
2025/3/7
On 1 March, the annual meeting of the Kizuna Network, consisting of former students who have studied in Japan, took place at the Japanese Information and Culture Centre (JICC) of the Japanese Embassy in Switzerland.
Following a warm welcome from Mr. Tsuyoshi Kawahara, Director of the JICC and Ms. Stephanie Santschi, President of Kizuna, members of the group contributed to the meeting with presentations. Thanks to the diverse backgrounds of the various members, the presentations covered a wide range of topics. From advanced nuclear reactors and the current state of research in Switzerland and Japan, to an upcoming exhibition about the Swiss artist Albert Anker and his connection to Japanese art, to an update on a long-term stay at a Japanese high school, each enriched the meeting.
The annual meeting was followed by a reception at the ambassador's residence, where the participating members were able to network and exchange ideas.
